- ParentsJack JayEthel Jay
- Deep, commanding voice
- Often played cruel yet cultured villains
- Towering height
- Often played characters who were personifications of death
- A smooth and deep British voice.
- Died of complications following surgery to remove a tumor from his lung. Survived by his son, Adam.
- Despite being known for playing villains, he was known to friends and co-stars as a very kind and friendly man.
- All of his dialogue in La Belle et la Bête (1991) was recorded during his audition for the film.
- He appeared in both La belle et la bête (1987) and La Belle et la Bête (1991).
- His trademark voice is often mistaken for that of Jay Robinson, whose own mischievous and "evil" sounding voice sounds remarkably similar. While Jay Robinson is most recognized for his narration of Beyond Bizarre (1997), Jay's voice acting talent is mostly confined to Video Games and cartoons. His most recent and notable role has been that of the "Elder God" in the Legacy of Kain game series, a part he has had since the beginning of it.
- [on his part as Claude Frollo in Le Bossu de Notre-Dame (1996)] Claude Frollo: well, he's a religious zealot. We've tried to make him into a fully fleshed three-dimensional character: a tragic figure, rather than an out-and-out senseless villain. In other words, everything he does in a wicked sense is understandable but not excusable. See, Frollo, when he's trying to get his own way tends to be arch, that's the way I see him. In other words, you can see through him, really, because nobody trusts him. I mean, Phoebus doesn't trust him right from the word "girl", and Esmeralda certainly doesn't, and Quasimodo certainly knows about him. So whatever he's trying, Frollo, in an attempt to get his own way and get his own ambitions realized is really transparent. We can see through him. But that doesn't stop his own fervor, you see.
- [on the music of Le Bossu de Notre-Dame (1996)] It was one of the greatest kicks of my life with this Alan Menken, Stephen Schwartz score, which I think is epic. I think Alan Menken and Stephen have outdone themselves.
- [on his role in Le Bossu de Notre-Dame (1996)] You are making your bid for immortality. You are in a movie by Disney.
